Puppy Kindergarten

Finian

NEW: Start any month! The first Wednesday of each month will be our orientation class, so you won't have to wait long for a session to start!

 

The first 16 weeks of a puppy's life are critical. Puppyhood is the BEST time to prevent aggression and fear problems later in life. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to safely socialize your puppy until after he has received all his vaccinations.

 

Pawsitive Results Puppy Kindergarten helps teach your puppy that the world is a friendly, safe place -- and you'll learn how to properly deal with common puppy challenges.
